It's been nine months, I'm just excited to meet this guy. Right little mini me? Excuse me, mini us. I think I got a little something to do with this. My bad, I'm just a bystander at this point. I can't imagine. Do you think I'm gonna be a good father? Are you crazy? I don't know. You're gonna be amazing. I wouldn't of married you otherwise. I love you so much. I love you. Honey the light's green. Yeah, okay. (honking) (screaming) (shattering) (low rumbling) (high pitched ringing) (beeping) (melancholy music) (gentle music) Mama. [Mom] Hi baby. You're fine baby. Everything's gonna be fine. What happened? You're in the hospital. Wait a minute. Where's my, where's my Right over there baby. (baby crying) Hi. Hi Allison. Listen. Where's Matthew? Honey... I'm so sorry Julie. [Mom] They did everything they could sweetheart. I'm sorry honey. [Julie] Mom I'm sorry sweetheart, they did everything they could. They tried. No. [Mom] Honey. No. [Mom] Sweetheart, you've gotta stay calm. No, no! Honey. No, no, no! [Julie] No, no where is he! Calm down. Honey. Matthew! [Mom] You've gotta calm down. [Julie] No, Matthew! (sad music) (light upbeat music) [Boy] You mean that's our house? [Female] It sure is buddy. What do you think? [Boy] I love it. Oh my goodness, this is actually happening! Oh come here buddy. Oh yeah! I missed you so much Matty! Can't do that in a video chat. Hey, I heard you like Legos. [Matty] Yeah. Yeah? Yeah! Okay, go on, let's go inside. We can unload later. I have coffee inside. Okay. How was the drive? [Julie] It was long. But I got lots of Matty time. [Allison] I just cannot believe you guys are actually here. [Julie] Well, in all fairness, you have been begging for six years. No seven actually. I've been wanting you to come out since before... Yeah, it's okay. Before Matthew died. Well I'm just so glad you guys are here now. Me too. And I live only four blocks away. Definite bonus. (laughing) Yeah, I can barely see Matty just growing up here. And you? Yeah, I am ready to start over. It's time you know? Oh yeah, I'll say. I do however need a job. You will find one. You will. We'll figure it out, together. You are the best. Likewise. [Matty] Hey Mommy, look what I made! Yeah! Wow! Are you ready for me to storm your castle? [Matty] No. I'm gonna get you! (light music) (ominous music) (engine turning) (choking) [Julie] Hey buddy. [Allison] There he goes, look at you. [Matty] Thanks. [Allison] Good job. Just stay on the sidewalk okay? [Matty] I am. You know, a lot of the kids his age in the neighborhood don't have training wheels anymore. He's getting there. Oh yeah. No, of course. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to overstep. No, no, you didn't. It's just, I don't think he needs to grow up too fast. One day at a time you know? Yeah, yeah, of course. Okay, so where were we? Well I do need to find a sitter for Matty. Oh, that's easy, Hello Neighbor. What's that? [Allison] It's the greatest invention in the world. Mom, mommy, mom, look! Can I? [Julie] Of course you can, go. Hang on Matt, I've got my eyes on you though. Be careful! So anyways, Hello Neighbor is the private social network for the neighborhood. Okay yeah, I think I've heard of this. Yeah, yeah. All the local communities have them. It's kind of addictive. You can keep up with all the juicy gossip between the neighbors, and it's actually just a great resource for referrals, so it's good. Okay, so you think I can actually find a sitter there? Oh yeah, for sure. They have everything from street closures, to yard sales, to job openings. Oh hey, Randie, Eleanor. This is my sisterinlaw Julie. She just moved here. [Randie] Hi Julie. Hi. [Allison] And that is my nephew Matty. He will be in Cameron's class. Oh, so he's going into first? [Julie] Yes. So are the twins. I'll make sure they make him feel welcomed. Oh thank you. (light music) (laughs) Hi. Searching nannies, here we go. User, Julie33, enter. Hello Marisol, you look like a lovely nanny candidate. (beeping) [Mom] Hi honey, can you see me? I can see half of you. How about now? I can see your ear, barely. What about now? Just back up two feet Mom. [Mom] Okay honey. How are you? I miss you. I miss you too sweetheart. How are you? Good. Great even. I've got a job interview. Oh honey, I'm so glad. You are such an incredible physical therapist. I really miss my shoulder rubs already. Well come and visit. Soon. You need to settle in. How's your sisterinlaw? You can ask without that subtle hint of irritation. Well, I just don't understand why you had to move across the country to be near her. I told you, I needed a fresh start Mom. [Mom] But honey, you're so far away from me. Don't start. Too late, I'm starting. I mean you could move here. It's gorgeous. Ah! The suburbs! (laughing) I need you to be happy for me. I am honey. I'm happy for you. I just miss you and I love you. (loud thunder) (faint clanking) I love you too. I gotta go. [Mom] What was that? I'm sure it's nothing Mom, I'll call you later. [Mom] Honey. (loud thunder) (rain) (ominous music) (beeping) Okay. This is an impressive place you have here I must say. And I'm excited to start. Thank you again for the opportunity. Oh of course. My top therapist suddenly decided to stop coming to work. Yeah, I'm sorry to hear about your therapist. Well, I'm just grateful you called when you did. Well Julie, welcome aboard. Well thank you. See Monday Dr. P. [Dr. Pearson] Blake, how's your knee? It's good thanks to you. Hi, Blake Larson. Nice to meet ya. Hi, I'm Julie Caster. It's my first day. Oh, well I look forward to seeing you again. Me too. (laughing) Well it's nice to meet you Julie Caster. See you guys later. I'm excited to start. Nice! Oh I'm getting dizzy! Let's go the other way! Yeah! Good job! [Marisol] Julie Caster? Hi, hi, oh my gosh, call me Julie. You must be Marisol. You didn't answer the front door and then I heard the two of you having a blast back here so I just thought I'd Yeah no, of course, welcome. This is Matty. Matty come. Hi Matty, I'm Marisol. Hi. I emailed you my references. Oh yeah, I've called them all already. Sorry, I'm helicopter mom. But they're all very big fans. And I helped raise my three little brothers so I've had a lot of practice. Impressive. Well I just got a job. I'm working three days a week from 10 to six. So I can take Matty to school in the mornings but I need someone to pick him up and then just be here with him until I get home. I'm studying for LSATs right now and taking some night classes, so it actually works out perfectly. He's adorable by the way. I'm not adorable, I'm tough, see? Oh my goodness, you aren't kidding. I bet you're super fast too huh? I am! I bet you can't catch me. Oh we'll see about that! Awe. (laughing) Okay you're hired! You're gonna get dizzy! (ominous music) Okay, three and a half miles, nice. Nice. Good work. What is that? Yeah. That's from the rock fairy. Seriously? Yeah. Well, aka me. Too cute, okay. Ha. Yeah Let's go in. It is cute. [Julie] You are so cute. Yeah, no, it's a tradition in Birchwood. An anonymous neighbor always leaves it as a sign of welcome and support. That's sweet. Yeah, less hokey. [Julie] I love hokey. Well then you'll fit right in. (laughing) Oh gosh. Well I can say I have to thank you then anonymous neighbor. Okay, well that's a rock. No, for everything. I mean I'm happy Ally. For the first time since, since I lost him. So you are just gonna have to get used to me being all emotional and grateful at how awesome you are. Well yeah. When Matthew died I thought I lost everything. But it's almost like... he's alive again in Matty. You know what I mean? Very much so. I feel that. Well aren't we a pair? [Julie] We are. (laughing) Almost done Matt attack. It's a fairy rock. Really? Big time. Hey baby. Hi Ally, how are you? Good to see you this morning. Nice surprise. Had to get a little Matty time before I start my day. Speaking of Matty time, Marisol's making me cinnamon toast. Smells yummy. Well that is your sugar for the day, okay? [Matty] I know Mommy. I like to keep his sugar intake to a bare minimum. Of course. Thank you. Ooh, I want some. Mommy said I can only have one. Mean mommy. [Matty] Mean mommy. Nice, nice guys. Okay, I'm running late so you guys have a good day. I love you. Bye, I love you too. Mommy's right, you probably should just have one. I'll help you with that. Hey, that was mine! Mm, so good! Mm, good Marisol. (upbeat music) (clanking) So, how you liking Birchwood so far? It's pretty perfect. How's that feeling? It's actually a lot better. You're a little miracle worker aren't you? You are too kind. I'm gonna go ahead and jump in head first. Would it be too soon for me to ask you out? On a date? Huh? No, on a fishing expedition. I'm just kidding, I know nothing about fishing. And apparently less about dating. But I'd like to take you out for a meal and coffee on land. Well, (stutters). Before you answer, just imagine how awkward it's gonna be, me coming here three times a week and you rejecting me each time. Yeah, that would be pretty awkward. Yeah, I'm stubborn. I'm gonna keep asking until you give in. So you might as well save yourself a lot of time and me a lot of embarrassment. Just say yes. How about an I'll think about it? I'll take it. Have you thought about it? Okay, come on. (laughing) (ominous music) And with a whoosh of the wand, she turned the frog into a handsome prince and they lived happily ever after. [Matty] I like that one Mama. Yeah? What do you like about that one my sweet boy? I like the hairy godmother. You mean the fairy. [Matty] She reminded me of Ally. Awe, that's so nice. Who did I remind you of? The frog. The frog? [Matty] Where's Bibbby mom? [Julie] I think Bibbby's downstairs. I'm gonna have to get him for you in a few minutes. [Matty] Promise? [Julie] I promise. [Officer] May I help you with something? It's sleep, sleep, sleep time. Night froggy. Ha ha, goodnight. I love you. [Officer] Hey wait, don't I know you? (loud clanking) (loud shattering) (dog barking) (ominous music) [Phone operator] 911. There's an intruder in my house. Yes, no, I'm locked upstairs in my son's room. I can hear them downstairs. (shattering) Hurry please. (heavy breathing) It was just me and my son. And where's your son now? He's upstairs. I didn't wanna wake him. We were together in his room when it happened. Got it. And as far as missing items, nothing except Some cash. I don't keep that much around the house. Oh and Matty's stuffed bunny that he sleeps with. He loves that rabbit, it was his fathers. Rabbit? Yeah, it's brown with a white patch on it's side. He calls it Bibbby. Bibbby, is that with two B's? Actually it's with three. I'll file the report, send you the case number. If you see any suspicious activity let us know. [Allison] I can't believe it. Well it happened to me. I know, I know, I'm so sorry. It's not your fault. I know. You know, have you posted about it on Hello Neighbor? No. Why would I Well, I mean people post about anything. Usually it's that there's trash in the street or the trees need trimming. But this is something people should actually know about. You're probably right. I just, it feels weird that that would be my first post you know? Yeah, well, this community lives in it's own little bubble. They could use a good wake up call. Okay, I'll do that. I feel like I just need to recover a little bit first. Oh yeah, no of course. It's just really important that you post it in Hello Neighbor. Yeah, I will. What time is it? I actually have to go to work today. It's the weekend. Well I'm filling in. Earning some brownie points with Dr. Pearson. I'll see ya, gotta go. Alright, bye. (ominous music) (ringing) Hi mom. [Mom] I've been so worried about you. Oh we're fine. It was just a break in. Just a break in? I thought that neighborhood was supposed to be safe? I'm fine. The whole neighborhood is stepping up. Really? Do you have friends yet? Of course. Who? You wanna name names? Eleanor. [Mom] That sounds kind of snooty. She's nice. And Randie, also nice. And Blake. A boy? A man, I'm not 16 anymore. Well I'm just glad you're open to finding love again honey. Thanks Mom. I love you. I love you more. Stay safe. [Voiceover] Glad you and your son are okay. [Voiceover] Sounds scary. Super sorry that happened. [Voiceover] Did Officer Wells take a report? [Voiceover] Let us know if you need anything Julie33. That's nice. (beeping) Hold on, what? People like me make the whole neighborhood less safe? [Narrator] People like you make the neighborhood less safe. Greenthumb52. Get a life. [Voiceover] Maybe you were broken into because you don't have enough security. [Voiceover] Get more lights. [Voiceover] We used to have a safe neighborhood. [Voiceover] You thought about getting a dog? [Voiceover] For sure. It's like they're blaming me for the break in. [Blake] Did they leave their names? No, just their handles. Cowards. You're doing great, just a few more. Yeah, you know, some of these handles are ridiculous. BigbrotherBert. Mylawnisbetterthanyours28. What? When they're anonymous they feel like they have a platform to say whatever they want. And it hurts peoples feelings. You know what my handle is? [Julie] Niceguy41? Blake Larson. 'Cause I got nothing to hide. So, take 12. Huh? There was no huff and puff, you didn't know what I was gonna say? You're gonna do 12 more is what's gonna happen. Would you like to go on a date with me? I think it's about time. Don't make me go for a baker's dozen please? It's really good. You're looking great. Okay, I'll see you at seven. (laughing) (slow paced music) (laughing) I, you know, figured I would just cut straight to the unconventional and see if you could handle it. I can handle it. But unconventional could have been, you know, scuba diving or masquerade ball. You've been on many of those have you? Nah, I'd much rather be on a date with my date's nanny and son. [Marisol] Oh cute face Matty. He is adorable. (laughing) Okay, well you're not scuba dating, what do you like to do? Tell me stuff, you stuff. Oh me stuff? I lost my wife three years ago. It was fast and horrible and devastating and I fell into a rabbit hole I couldn't get out of. So I took up jogging. [Julie] It's therapeutic. But I did overtrain, thus the knee injury, and Dr. Pearson, and meeting you. Wow. (ominous music) Alright, enough about me. Tell me about your husband. Well, we were high school sweethearts. First everything. And he was my best friend. Survivors. To survivors. (camera shuddering) I do hate that phrase. Survivors? I mean it's way better than widower. I just find the phrase "Survived by their wife and son" to be pessimistic. You know, it's like, I don't know. Now that he's gone are we just supposed to exist? Instead of thriving. Yes. Thriving. To thriving. [Blake] Well alright. (camera shuddering) [Marisol] Ooh, nice balance, good job. You know, they can come sit with us if you want. Really? No. (laughing) Yeah I'm sure. Okay. Hey Matty, you guys, come sit with us. [Matty] Okay. [Marisol] Okay, bring your pizza Matty. Let's do this. Thank you Marisol. Hello. Hi. How's your pizza? Awesome. Good. Hey Matty, why was six afraid of seven? Oh I know, 'cause seven ate nine. What? Good one. Whoa! Careful. Wow, wild one. [Blake] He's feisty. I don't know what that was. Blake's a blank dinosaur Mom. [Blake] Hey, stickers don't make friends. It's totally cool! (thudding) Oh no, what now? Are you kidding me? Excuse me! Excuse me! What are you doing? You're in your pajamas. Yeah, well, my ball gown's being pressed. What are you doing really? I'm hauling in your trash cans. Yeah, well, I'm perfectly capable of doing that myself. It's nearly eight, the trash was picked up yesterday. This is an eyesore. Okay. The trash was picked up yesterday morning. Yes, I got that the first time. Look, I'm the resident matriarch of the block. I know everything that happens here. I'm sorry about your break in. Thank you, it could of been worse. If you wanna play by the rules, keep your front yard tidy, bring in your trash, keep your alarm on. We'll be great friends. Well that would be nice. Hey baby, time to get up. Okay you little sleepy monster. (ominous music) Matty. Are we playing hide and seek? I'm gonna find you. Matty Matty! Matty? Matty? Matty! Matty? Matty! Matty! He's six. Only sixyearsold. Shouldn't we be looking for him right now? I mean, aren't there statistics about kids who've been missing for 24 hours? [Officer] Chances are he's fine. How? How do you know this? Are you psychic? Do you even have children? No ma'am, neither. Then you don't know that. You don't know that! Calm down. Calm down? Does he have a phone? Again, he is six. Could he be on a play date with someone? No. We haven't lived here that long. Marisol his nanny is with her family. She hasn't seen him. I'm calling Allison but it's going straight to voicemail. And she wouldn't know where he is anyway. And I know there's a local patrol officer but nobody can find him. Okay I'm sorry, but I don't know what to do. We're gonna put on an APB on your son. And in the meantime, is there anyone That can help you canvas the neighborhood? I don't know. Yes. Actually, yes, yes. My neighbors. [Eleanor] Well I just think it's all a little, this is a little dramatic. Am I right? I want you to take a group and get over to Diversity and 6th. [Eleanor] I doubt he's gotten that far. He's a little boy, anything's possible. Now the rest of you, I want you to fan out! We've been on our feet for six hours Lydia. If it were the twins, would you stop now? Has anybody seen Officer Wells? Oh please, I've seen commas more than I've seen that imbecile. We only have a few hours of daylight left, let's find the boy. You heard the lady. Lydia, Lydia, anything yet? Thank you so much for doing this. Oh this is what neighbors do. I mean if my security cam hadn't been on the fritz, all it does is show black. Then I could of at least seen where the boy went. Oh no, come on please. You can't blame yourself. This is just... Matty. [Lydia] Is that Matty? Where's he been? Is he okay? [Matty] Mom, look what I got? [Lydia] Oh thank god. Where were you? I called you like 20 times! I'm so sorry, my phone died. But I told you I was taking him to the fair. No you didn't. Yes I did, it's on the calendar Julie. We talked about it. That is next month. It was today. I mean I tried to wake you up when we left, but you were dead to the world. I'm so sorry. [Narrator] I know where my kids are. You just forgot Julie. It happens. Everything's fine but I am so sorry. Guys everything's fine, it's just a misunderstanding. Thank you all for your concern. [Lydia] You're welcome! [Allison] Everything's fine. [Lydia] I guess. Honey, let's go inside. [Allison] Julie wait! [Narrator] I can't believe we wasted the whole afternoon. [Lydia] I'm glad Matty's okay, but why doesn't she know where her son is? [Narrator] Can you believe she didn't know where her own child was? I just spent my entire day looking a neighbor's missing kid who wasn't missing. I hate her. Okay. Maybe mykidisgifted87 hates you, but come on, her kid is gifted. She probably hates everyone and their inferior children. Oh my gosh, where did they get this photo? Oh wow. "Face the facts lady, some people just shouldn't be parents. No one sober loses their kid." What? You need to ignore this Julie, they are I had one beer Allison. No, I know, I get it. This is ridiculous. Okay, remember, this is where cowards vent. It's their safe space. It doesn't feel safe. Screw it, you know what, this is my home now. If they're gonna be cowards, I'm gonna call them out on it. What are you gonna say? I love my son. I thought he was missing. I would question any parent who loves their child as much as I do, who wouldn't do exactly the same? I just... I feel like this is my fault. If we wouldn't of gone to the fair, then No. No, obviously I screwed up the dates. I mean you're so crazy about your calendar I just figured that you knew and so I Totally my fault Ally. And it was on the calendar. I mean it was Matty's handwriting. I don't know. I just I got confused. And he had such a good time. I had such a good time. Speaking of a good time. Oh. What? You don't kiss and tell? It was nice. I mean he's nice. Who knows though, it's all so new. Well I'm here for you, you know that. I mean I'll watch Matty any time. You can even stay the night. Ally! Yeah, all the kids called her the pit bull. She was the absolute worst. Mrs. Finklemeyer. Right? Her name was mean. I couldn't do anything right. I was always a quarter inch too long. Or if I parked my car in the street for 30 seconds she'd lodge a complaint with the HOA. Oh god, you poor thing. I know, she tortured me. You're not kidding. So to say the least, I can empathize. Unfortunately we can't change our neighbors, but... Yes? We can choose our friends. That we can. Cheers. (ringing) Perfect timing. Oh shoot, I'm sorry. Blake it's Ally, do you mind if I take it? No, of course not. Hey Ally, how's it going? I'm just calling to check in like you asked. Oh we're having the time of our lives. As usual. So you guys are okay if I stay out a little longer? Oh yeah, of course. Stay out as late as you need. [Julie] Okay, well give Matty a big hug for me and tell him how much I love him okay? Will do. Have fun. I owe you big time. [Allison] Hey I love my Matty time. Bye. Bye. Was that Mommy? Yup, sounds like she's gonna be out a little later so it's just you and me. Okay. Yeah. All right, keep stirring that batter buddy. I need a double fudge brownie, pronto. Just so you know, Mommy doesn't let me have chocolate this late. Oh. Well Mommy's not here right now is she? [Matty] She'll be mad. Why don't you let me worry about that. You're on Auntie Ally time now aren't you? Okay. [Allison] How is this stuff? [Matty] How is it? Oh. You should try it. Mm, it is good. [Allison] It's good! Thank you. It's nice, they seem to really get along. Matty and Allison? Yeah, he seems to really love her. Yeah, he does. Well, it's nice. Yeah. Oh, so anymore incidents? No, not in a couple of days. Well, that's encouraging. Maybe that dark cloud found another victim to hover above. Oh man, I hope so. I mean enough already right? Enough is enough. (laughing) You're funny. [Marisol] So you're thinking a collie. [Allison] Matty get over here! [Matty] Ally! Hey, I got the afternoon off. Let's go do something! Hey! [Matty] Ally! You wanna go get ice cream? Yes! Okay hop in. Hey, Julie said he's not supposed to have anymore sugar today. Boo. Boo! I want ice cream! I want ice cream! He wants ice cream. Please, please, please! You can study while we're gone. I'll have him back in an hour. Fine. Just have him back before 5:30 or I'm in big trouble. [Allison] Say thank you Marisol. Thank you Marisol! (slow paced music) [Julie] Not too high, it's scary up high! I wanna go higher! (ringing) [Randie] Eleanor look. She pays more attention to her phone than her own child. No wonder he went missing. (ominous music) (camera shuddering) Alright, I'm coming in, I'm coming in! Here we go! Woo! [Matty] You're gonna be swinging as high as me! (laughing) [Julie] The one who goes the highest picks lunch! [Matty] I wanna go to the Ferris wheel Mommy. May I have a grilled cheese with no pepper and a side of fries? [Julie] Oh that looks so good. [Matty] This is the best day Mom! [Julie] Look at us, we're high! (loud rock music) Oh why is everybody outside? What's that noise Mommy? I don't know honey. [Matty] It's really loud. I have no idea. Is that coming from our house? Oh no. Matty stay in the car honey. She is on thin ice. Way to draw a crowd! Well I... You know what, Matthew's in the car, do you mind getting him out for me? Of course, of course, of course. What's happening? I don't know. You're just Another habit going bad on me What is going on? (ominous music) Hey Matty, why don't you go on inside honey and wash up, okay? Thank you. Everything okay? (loud music) [Driver] Is this where the party's at? Oh great. What now? What? What do you mean? You're Julie right? Yes but no, this is ridiculous. I'm not throwing a party. [Lydia] According to that flyer you are. She's becoming quite the nuisance isn't she? Poor woman. Poor child. This has to be some kind of prank. Whatever lady. You know what everybody just go back in your homes. Honestly, between you and I, she's a stain on this community. Give her a chance Eleanor. [Julie] I had nothing to do with this! Just leave me alone. [Eleanor] Well don't play your music so loud. Why would somebody do this? Maybe it's kids? No, kids, children are not this calculating and malicious. It's like they're out to get me. You know Matty, time for bed honey. Can Ally read me a story? Story? Ooh. Sure. You know where your toothbrush is right? Yeah. [Ally] Okay, go brush and I'll be right up. Okay. How well do you know Eleanor? Eh, she's not one of my buds if you know what I mean. Do you like her? Promise not to tell? Ally. Okay, no I don't. I think she is petty, judgmental, and condescending. And she thinks her twins are far superior to any of the other peasant children in the neighborhood. Okay wow, you really don't like her. Nope. Actually what it is though, I don't trust her. (ominous music) Yeah, why do you ask? It's just a vibe I'm getting from her. Do you think she's mykidisgifted87? From Hello Neighbor, the hater. Probably. I mean it makes total sense if you think about it. Maybe. I don't wanna jump to any conclusions. Thank you for the info. Our little secret? [Ally] Pinky swear. Pinky swear. (faint ringing) [Marisol] Great job Matty. Nice. Are you okay? Yeah. I'm fine, yeah. Why? Are you okay? Yeah it's just, actually I saw this last night. Oh my god. [Marisol] Look, I know this isn't you, but someone is really trying to make it seem like you're crazy or unstable. [Julie] Who? I have no idea. I just thought you should know. Are they trying to get Matty taken from me? Yeah, looks that way. But who, why? I mean that is just evil. Yeah, I agree. Maybe you should call the police. Yeah, they're not exactly my biggest fans right now. I'm sorry. For what it's worth, I have a friend who is a computer whiz who might be able to uncover the identity's for the more aggressive posts. And then I can send a cease and desist letter. If you'd like. Really? That would be amazing. [Marisol] Of course. Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, look how fast I can go! Look at you, wow! Hey, your training wheels are off. Ally took them off for me. She said I don't need them anymore. Oh you didn't know? [Matty] She was right, see? Yeah honey she was. She was. Ally listen, someone is stalking me. Posting photographs. [Ally] Yeah these are really creepy. I mean it's like they're trying to get Matty taken from me. How can we figure out who these are posted from? You know it's funny that you mention that. Marisol thinks that she can actually identify the more aggressive ones and flush them into the daylight. Oh okay, good. Oh and I already talked to Blake, he's gonna introduce me to an attorney on Friday. Wow, wow okay. Are we sure that's necessary? It's getting worse Allison. It's more than just nosy overly opinionated neighbors. Who made that flyer? It's malicious. Yeah okay, well you gotta do what you gotta do. I would just... avoid upsetting the neighbors anymore than we already have. I know. I'm sorry I have become the pariah of your community now. I feel horrible. And you brought me here. But Ally, you have to believe me. I am not doing anything wrong. No I do, I do. Absolutely I believe you. And Allison, I don't want to seem unappreciative, and it was really really sweet of you to take Matty's training wheels off. But that was my job. Yeah, well, he was just really excited to ride like a big boy. [Matty] Mommy, can I have a glass of water? Yeah honey, I'll be right there. I get it, I do. I just don't wanna miss the important moments you know? Yeah, of course. It won't happen again. Thank you. He's just adorable. He's doing this little dance right now. I think it's called the flossy or something? You ever heard of this? [Client] Yes, I have. Have you? [Client] Yes. [Julie] Do you have kids? [Client] Yes I do. (ominous music) Excuse me a second. Hello! Hello! What do you want?! What do you want?! Julie, hey. What's going on? I swear somebody was watching me. Really? I... Yeah. I'm okay. Nevermind. Look, do you need to take the rest of the day off? No of course not. I'm fine, honestly, I'm fine. Okay. Yeah okay. Thank you. [Dr. Pearson] Of course. (doorbell ringing) Hang on sweetie, I'm gonna get that. [Matty] Okay. Hey. We can't keep doing this. [Allison] Keep doing what? You showing up and hijacking Matty. Does Julie even know you're here? Hijacking? I'm his aunt. You've made that very clear. But Mrs. Caster hired me to watch Matty, not you. Ms. Caster, she's no longer married. Whatever the case, it puts me in an awkward position and I have to do my job. Ally! Hey sweetness! Hey buddy. If you wanna take Matty for icecream, or chocolate, or bike rides, or whatever you do, just talk to Mrs. Caster first so she can let me know. Ms. Caster. Matty you have gotten so good at building stuff. What am I possibly gonna build? You could probably build a train like that one probably. All right, I'm gonna head out. And Julie, when you get a second, there's something I need to talk to you about. About your sisterinlaw. Oh, okay. Is everything all right? Yeah, it's not urgent. We can talk Monday. [Julie] Are you sure? Yeah, now worries. Okay. Bye Matty. Bye. [Julie] Bye. Look at this, a train. I mean look at these wheels, it's impressive. Hey, were you able to pinpoint any of the users' locations? Really? You're a genius. Is there anything on Trent Way? I know you're taking a huge risk. No one's gonna find out, I promise. Just give me an address. You're kidding, I'm listening. How many houses is it from the corner? Are you sure? Yeah. I found it. I gotta go. It's you. (ominous music) Just have patience Matthew. Just a little longer. Who gets injured playing golf? (ringing) Oh it's Matty's school. Go ahead. Hello. (ominous music) What? She didn't? Yeah, of course. I'll be right there. Is everything okay? Marisol didn't show up. Matty's still at school. Go, go on, go. Yep. Thank you. [Marisol] Hi it's Marisol, leave a message. Marisol, this is the fourth message. I'm getting worried, are you okay? Just call me please. (loud shattering) (screaming) What the? [Matty] Mommy what was that noise? Yeah baby, I'm okay. Just stay upstairs, you hear me? Stay upstairs. What the? (clanking) [Matty] Mommy, there's someone outside! Mommy! [Julie] I'm coming Matty. [Officer] So this is the rock? It's similar to the ones that the neighbors paint and give to the newcomers. They call it a fairy rock. It's a little hokey. You know? It's similar to... Okay, it was right here. Would that be the rock fairy rock? I mean literally, it was just here this morning. Someone is targeting me and my son. And now my nanny is missing. Missing? Marisol. She didn't show up for work today. So you want to fill out a missing persons report on your nanny? No, because it hasn't been 24 hours yet so she's probably gonna turn up, right? (melancholy music) I know this is a bad idea, but here it goes. If anyone has spoken with Marisol, please let me know, thanks. [Narrator] More drama from you? Seriously? [Narrator] First you lost your son and now you lose your babysitter? Looks like you were too busy helping. (chatter) Stop! I mean, I am, I mean they think I'm crazy. They spend their days and nights bullying me like we're in grade school. Ouch. When all I'm trying to do is reach out so that I can find Marisol. I called her parents, her contacts, nobody has heard from her. At the end of today it's gonna be 48 hours and I'm filing a missing persons report. Okay. Meanwhile, I can't even hire a new nanny because now I have a reputation. Julie, maybe you should take a breath and calm down or I'm gonna need physical therapy for my physical therapy. Oh my God Blake, I'm so sorry. Yeah that's too hard. It's okay, I'm fine. But you, you need to get off that online board. It's toxic. You're right. My second favorite sentence to hear. You know, I just was hoping to use that app so that I could connect with people. You know especially for Matty. That certainly backfired. I get it. You know, I think I can confidently say that you are my favorite client. Mm, my favorite therapist. And friend. So easy on gams okay? Yeah. By the way, what's your first favorite sentence? I'll tell you when I hear it. (clanking) (ominous music) (screaming) New landscaping. Lydia, I mean did you see anything? Sorry no hun, I must be off my game. Well, you don't really, you don't have to help me. [Lydia] No, no, no, no. [Julie] I got it. [Neighbor offscreen] It's getting sad. You know, you may wanna take it a little easy on the booze. This is not mine. I mean this, this is not mine. I mean seriously, I have an occasional glass of wine Lydia. Hard liquor makes me ill. None of this makes sense. Oh God. Who would do this to me? Lydia I'm sorry. I just. I'm so tired. I'm just so tired of all of this! Oh perfect, just perfect! Yeah, I'm a lush. Yeah this is just from today. I don't doubt it. Eleanor stop it. This was you wasn't it? [Eleanor] What? You and your little android twins have wanted me out of this neighborhood since day one, haven't you? Haven't you? Ms. Mykidsgifted84, or 86, or 68, whatever. Okay, come on tiger lady. Take it down a notch. You need serious help. Do you know that? Oh, I'm crazy? I'm crazy! Who is breaking into houses stealing rocks? Planting booze in neighbors trash cans? She's not worth it, come on. It's pathetic. [Julie] Unbelievable. Look, I know Eleanor, and she can be a real BITCH, but she's not evil. If you're telling the truth and someone is doing all these terrible things to you, then that is one evil son of a bitch. Pardon my language. Oh my goodness, I mean what did I just do? Oh don't worry about them. In two weeks they'll be whining about the sprinklers and you'll be yesterday's news. Come on. Thank you Lydia. Thank you so much for coming over. My nerves are just fried. I don't wanna be alone tonight. Yeah, no. Of course, I'm glad you called. Pajama party. You know I'm worried about Marisol. Oh well she'll show up. She's in her 20s. She probably has a whole other life you don't even know about. I don't know. She's a pretty good girl. Maybe. (ominous music) You know, she was going to tell me something about you. She was? What? I can't imagine what it is. Well, probably about how awesome of an aunt I am. Maybe. I'm sure we'll find out eventually. So how are things with Blake? Really good. Yeah, he has been so supportive and patient. I mean I don't know how he's dealing with me, but I haven't felt this way in A long time? Yeah. It's nice. And Matty loves him. They're adorable together. He's actually gonna take us on a picnic tomorrow. Oh really? 'Cause I was gonna take him to the zoo. You were? When were you gonna tell me that? I'm sorry, I forgot. Yeah, no, of course, have fun. Yeah, I'll find something else to do. Alright. You know what, I'm gonna actually gonna go get myself ready for bed. Otherwise I'm never gonna get up for work in the morning. So thank you again for just being here tonight. Goodnight sis. Night sis. Matthew. I love you so much my Matthew. My Ally. Mommy. [Matty] Huh? Call me Mommy. [Matty] But you're not my Mommy.

Thank you so much for taking him. Yeah, I can't believe it. Do they know what happened? I only know what Jenny told me. Doc found him in the alley and now he's in emergency surgery. What's a surgemy? It's where a very smart doctor uses his best magic to make the owie go away. Can I see? [Julie] Not this time sweetie. Yeah, Mommy's gotta go. Okay say goodbye though okay? Bye. [Julie] Bye. [Matty] Bye mommy. Bye. I'll call you as soon as I know anything okay? [Allison] Okay. I love you. I love you too. Not as much as I do. Is this for our camping trip with Blake?

Oh, yeah, it's just, I mean it's barely a two person tent. But you know, I can put you up in my room, it's much more comfortable. Yeah, I guess that's fine. Are you sure? I'll be great. Okay, okay cool. You guys have fun. Thanks. Yeah, you too. Sleep tight. (ominous music) Had to have a little Matty time before I start my day. It's almost like he's alive again in Matty. I mean I'll watch Matty any time. You can even stay the night. And I live only four blocks away. There's something I need to talk to you about. I mean it's barely a two person tent. About your sisterinlaw. Mean Mommy. (gasping) (ominous music) Marisol. (beeping) (faint clanking) [Allison] Sleep well? Yeah. This bed is so comfortable. Yeah. Matty's still asleep. You want some coffee? Sure. I'll go make some. (ominous music) Hey, here you go. I hope you like it hot. Thanks. You okay? Yup. It's just everything you know? Mmm, mmm hmm. You sure? I'm fine.

What's happening? You can't keep doing this. [Allison] What? Undermining me. Training wheels, sugar, camping, the tooth fairy. Where is Marisol? I literally have no idea what you're talking about. Think about it. Think about what Julie? What are you implying? Maybe we just need some space from each other for a little while. Matty I'm coming sweetie. Well, it's not terrible news. Thanks doc. Hey you. [Blake] Hey. How are you? Never better. And you? What's the matter? You know, I don't wanna bother you with my stuff. I mean you're in the hospital. Julie, your stuff is my stuff, go ahead. I think Allison knows where Marisol is. Okay. Why is this? I found Marisol's phone in Allison's house. [Blake] You think she could of left it there on accident? As far as I know, she's never been to her house. I think she would of told me that. Maybe, maybe not. You think I'm being paranoid. I know. Well what's her motive? I mean she's spent years trying to get you out here. [Julie] True. So why would she would do everything humanly possible to get you to leave? I don't know. But something is not right. I know it. It's okay. I believe you. I believe you. Thank you. Thank you. (ominous music) I think I found the motive. Really? I need you to sign up for Hello Neighbor. Okay. You sure this is going to work? I have to clear my name. I know Allison is behind this. I just need proof. How about legaleagle23? Okay, legaleagle23. Okay, let me take over. It has been brought to my attention that you are the sisterinlaw of one Julie Caster. I have been made aware of certain irrational and potentially dangerous behaviors. Just going with it huh? [Julie] She is clearly unfit. Ooh you're good. Fight fire with fire right? I am offering my services pro bono if you feel an intervention is necessary to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the child. Best, Jeremiah. And we wait. And we wait. (loud knocking) Officer Ramsey. We found Ms. Gracialis. Well thank goodness. Where is she? [Officer] May I come inside? Of course, yeah. Come on in. [Officer] When's the last time you saw her? Mrs. Caster? Mrs. Caster, did you hear me? No, no wait. Where did you find her? I'm afraid that information is confidential right now. (ominous music) When's the last time you saw her? I told you. She left after work Friday evening and didn't return on Monday. Wait. Am I a suspect? Seriously? We're exploring all possible leads. You want a lead? My sisterinlaw has her phone. That's impossible. No, I saw it myself. Mrs. Caster, the phone was found on the deceased body. That's not... What? Do you need anything else from me? No ma'am. But if you hear anything give me a call. I will. Why can't I go to Ally's? Well, for right now it's My bibbby's there. What? Bibbby, dad's bibbby. Ally said I had to live at her house and I want it. Mommy will get you back your Bibbby. Matty. Yes Mommy. Do you and Auntie Ally have other secrets? It's okay baby, you can tell Mommy. She showed me on the calendar where to write the amusement park and she told me I couldn't tell you. She told you to do that? Is that bad? No honey. You didn't do anything wrong. Okay? But promise me no more secrets okay. I promise. I love you. I love you too. (ominous music) Is everything okay? What's the matter Mommy? Nothing honey. It's fine sweetheart. Can I talk to you for a second? Sure. One more set after this. I'll be right back. Sorry, thank you. I need you to do something for me. Of course, what do you need? If anyone asks, and I mean anyone, I need you to tell them that you fired me. What? It's just for this next week. I'm gonna ask you to trust me on this. Okay, no questions asked. Okay. Is everything okay? It will be. Thank you. Dr. P thank you. (ominous music) Okay. Hey, it's me. Can you come over? I miss you. Okay. [Allison] You're moving? I mean Dr. Pearson fired me. What? Of course he would. I mean he heard all the rumors. And then he went and told Blake. What? What? Why would he do that? Blake doesn't wanna deal with all this drama so he broke up with me. Can you believe that? Sweetie. I mean there's nothing left here for me. Well what about me? Oh Ally. I'm sorry. You have been so great. And the last thing I wanna do is hurt you. But ever since we've moved here it's just one thing after another. I can't take it, I feel like I'm going crazy. I get it, I know, I know, I know, I know. So when are you going? The day after tomorrow. What? [Julie] I know, I already hired the movers. Wow you're serious. I don't have a choice. So where will you go? I don't know. (ringing) Hey, what's going on? [Blake] She wants to meet Jeremiah. Are you serious? When? ASAP. Oh okay, wow. Well tell her Jeremiah can meet her tonight. I should go with you. You can't even walk honey. And I can handle this. I don't like it. Well you're just gonna have to trust me. I'm a survivor remember? I do. Just be careful. Of course. Bye. (faint knocking) Hey Julie, I wasn't expecting you. I know, and I know we were gonna say our goodbyes tomorrow, but I'm just feeling so conflicted. And Matty wanted me to give this back to you. He said it would remind you of him. Oh sure, thanks. [Julie] Can I come in? Well It'll just be a second. Second, yeah, sure. I just wanted you to know that everything you've done has been so deeply appreciated. And I wish that this worked out differently. You know actually, can we do this later? Can we do this later? This is not a good time for me? Why? What's going on? (stutters) I'm expecting someone. Really? Yeah. What's his name? His? Jeremiah? Legaleagle23? It's easy to hide behind handles isn't it? How did I didn't at first. But then I realized, who else would truly have a motive. This has all been about Matty. Hey, Julie. Hang on a minute. Now no, no, no, no. This is me. I'm your sisterinlaw. No, none of this makes any sense. Hang on, I know how to clear this up, hang on. What are you doing? Ally. Matthew is dead because of you. What? You know what they say about twins? How connected they are. Spiritually, psychically. Well it's true. It's true. Matthew was closer to me than my own heart. And you cannot comprehend that. You can't blame me for what happened. But I do blame you Julie! I do! You should of died in that accident, not my brother. Do you not think that I don't wonder that all the time? No I don't, I don't! Sit down! Sit! And I don't care how you feel or what you think. At first I just wanted you to suffer. To just feel one ounce of the pain that I felt. And then there was Matty and I held his tiny body in my arms. And I looked over at Matthew, he wasn't there. I know. I know, I loved him too. He was my husband. But then I felt it Julie, I felt it. I felt it, I felt him in Matty. It was like, it was like he had never died. Matthew died in a car accident. No he didn't! His body died but he was That's not real. No matter how badly you want that to be true. Are you saying I'm crazy? Hmm? That it's all in my head? Odd, because I have message boards filled with testimonies about how crazy and delusional you are. The cops are gonna have a field day Julie. And when I call them, and I'm gonna, and I'll say help, help! My sisterinlaw's losing her mind! She's trying to break into my house! Oh she's got a knife, help! Hmm. (laughing) (shattering) Oh my God. Ally. Once they find out that you're a psychopath capable of murder, well then who's gonna be at the top of the list to take custody of little Matty huh? They'll never believe you. I've spent the last five years of my life on this. And piece by piece I chipped away at you. Your relationships, your reputation, your sanity. Bravo. I'm impressed. Oh, did you think that position just miraculously opened up with Dr. Pearson, huh? [Julie] What are you talking about? Oh you know. Amy Ferguson. Hello, she's dead, I killed her. Oh but her shirts are very nicely folded upstairs. And I did bury her body in your backyard. I hope that's fine. You're sick Ally. You need help. According to the entire neighborhood and the local police, you need a heck of a lot more help than I do. What about Marisol? She's dead. Killed with a fairy rock that you used to kill her. And your fingerprints are all over that. I did think that through. I thought it through. And Blake? Guilty as charged. (laughing) But yeah Julie, who are they gonna believe? Huh? Who? The whacked out alcoholic, child abuser, who calls the cops more often than the pizza delivery guy. Yeah, just think about it. I don't know, what do you think huh? [Julie] You're delusional. Yeah well, according to the court of public opinion, that would be you, again. (clicking) (loud banging) [Officer] Police, open up! Responding to a disturbance. (loud thuds) Police, open up! Thanks for the DNA evidence. (sirens blaring) [Officer] Police, open up! Officer, thank God! Officer, she's delusional. She's trying to kill me. Hands up! [Julie] Go, go check the dinosaur. Excuse me? Go check the dinosaur. Come on guys. (loud sirens) I found that in my son's room. Hit rewind. Stop, press play. [Allison] Amy Ferguson, hello. She's dead, I killed her. Oh, but her shirts are very nicely folded upstairs. And I did bury her body in your backyard, I hope that's fine. If you keep listening, she's gonna confess that she murdered Marisol Gracialis and hurt my boyfriend. [Officer] Take her to the station. What? No, those are lies! Those are lies! I'm gonna kill you! He loves me! I'm his Mommy! I'm his Mommy! He loves me! He loves me! He loves! I imagine this is where I apologize Mrs. Caster. [Allison] I'm gonna kill you! Apology accepted. [Officer] I'll see you at the station. Thank you. (light music) [Blake] So, all that time at the hospital got me thinking. [Julie] Oh you've been thinking have you? Well do tell. That Matty would make a great older brother. Really? Why are you looking at me like that? No reason. [Matty] Mommy, Mommy look! What is this? Rocks Mommy. People have been coming by all day honey. They're really hoping you'd stay. Well, I do have plenty of reasons to stay now. Oh and my Mom has a little announcement. Oh, that's right. I've decided to move down here so I can be closer to all of you guys. My daughter's very persistent. I can't imagine where she gets that from. (laughing) Thank you though, for sticking with me through all this craziness. Well when you love someone you stick around no matter what. I love you too. There it is. What? That's my favorite sentence. [Mom] Awe. Ooh! Who wants brownies? Me! Okay, we're gonna go in the house. Everybody come on in. [Julie] Alright! Yay brownies! Got it? [Blake] Yup. If that kid's cooking those brownies I'm gonna tell him gluten free. Oh my triceps look awesome. (laughing) [Julie] Very funny. (eerie music) (ominous music) |
